Exercise in Medicine Testimonial - Linda Black

Referred for Hypertension

My physician wanted my lifestyle to include better food choices and an exercise program in order for me to lose weight and eventually no longer need medication for high blood pressure. She referred me to a program called Exercise is Medicine at Piedmont Atlanta Fitness Center. I was introduced to an exercise physiologist whom performed my pre and post assessment and guided me on an exercise plan. She also gave me great tips on improving the quality of my diet. I never realized that a single beverage could significantly contribute to my weight gain. As soon as I took control of my diet and reduced my sugar intake, I started seeing improvements. Because of the great support of the fitness team at Piedmont, I was able to discontinue one of my blood pressure medications and reach my fitness goal! Thank You!
